Georges Ascher (Polish 1884-1943): 'Two Washer Women', oil on canvas signed, titled and signed verso 40cm x 50cmNotes: Ascher was a cousin of the painter Roman Kramsztyk. He studied architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology and then continued his studies in Germany. During the war, which set Poland against the Red Army (1919-1921), he joined the Polish army alongside Marshal Piłsudski, and was wounded during the battle of Lwow. After the Polish authorities decorated him, Ascher moved to Lwow and then to Warsaw. He married and became an architect. Moving to Paris in 1925 he devoted himself to art. In 1937, he left his apartment in Paris with his wife and daughter for La Ciotat, where he painted many landscapes. In 1943, Georges and his wife were arrested and sent to the Gurs internment camp. They were deported on convoy number 60 and were died in Auschwitz. Much of Ascher’s work was destroyed in his studio while he was arrested. Jewish Artists of the School of Paris 1905-1939 - From 1905 to 1939, Paris attracted artists from all over the globe as the capital of the art world. This period of artistic proliferation became known as the School of Paris, and includes a great diversity of artistic expression. Within the teeming art world centred on Montparnasse, one group set itself apart: Jewish artists from Russia, Poland, and Central Europe. Although their styles were diverse, they shared the common fate of fleeing anti-Semitic persecutions in their home countries. Some became famous in the 1920s, such as Soutine, Lipchitz, and Chagall, while others did not have the time or the luck to gain renown. Nearly half of these artists died in Nazi concentration camps.Condition Report: Very good untouched original condition

* Cut-out Figures. Two framed painted cut-out full-length portraits of 18th century ladies, including Augusta Smith, wife of Richard Smith, Surgeon, circa 1785, the first with full-length scissor cuts of 4 ladies in profile, the details of features and dress painted in watercolour and gouache, some toning and staining, three annotated to hem of skirts in contemporary brown ink: 'Miss Archer 1785'; 'Mrs. Augusta - wife of Mr. Richard Smith, Surgeon AD 1785'; and 'Mrs Bertha Catcott', the fourth figure that of Mrs Smith's maid, largest figure 30.5 x 17.5 cm (12 x 7 ins), mounted on gold satin, framed and glazed (42.5 x 84 cm), the second with a repeat of three of the figures (without Miss Archer), a little light toning and foxing, mounted on red velvet, framed and glazed (42.5 x 63.5 ins), annotated with figures' names on backboard QTY: (2)NOTE:Provenance: By descent from Augusta and Richard Smith to the great great granddaughter of their son Henry Smith, the current owner. Augusta, daughter of the Reverend Alexander Stopford Catcott, married Richard Smith of Bristol on September 23rd, 1771. Richard Smith was a master at the Free Grammer School in Bristol, and on December 6th, 1774, he was elected Surgeon to the Infirmary there. In 1783 the couple were known to be living in Queen Charlotte Street, Queen Square, Bristol, but in December, 1785, the Smiths left Queen Square and took a house by College Green, opposite the Church of St. Augustine the Less, near to Bristol Cathedral. Augusta and Richard had two sons, Richard and Henry, both of whom are remembered for their involvement in an unfortunate death. Henry Smith (1774-1840), a Bristol attorney-at-law and amateur artist, was forced to flee the country in 1809 after fighting a duel in which his opponent later died from loss of blood, having been shot in the leg. His subsequent travels around Scotland, and later Spain and Portugal during the Peninsula War, where he served in the army under Wellington, were recorded in a diary (1809-1810) which is now kept at the University of Kansas. He subsequently returned to England for trial, but was exonerated. Richard Smith (1772-1843) was, like his father, a surgeon at Bristol Infirmary. Amongst other things, he is known for his anatomisation of executed criminals, and in particular his association with John Horwood, aged 18, who was publicly hanged for the murder of Eliza Balsum, an older girl with whom he was infatuated. When Eliza rejected his advances, he threw a stone at her, striking her on the head as she crossed a stream. She died a month later, after Richard Smith had performed the risky operation of trepanning on her (drilling a hole in her skull to relieve pressure). At that time anatomisation was part of the punishment for murder, and the convict's body was given over to Smith at the Bristol Infirmary for his anatomy class. Gruesomely, the surgeon had Horwood’s skin preserved and tanned, and then used it to bind into a volume the notes he had collected on the trial, including sketches of Horwood.
* Lace. A Brussels lace collar, thought to have been worn at Waterloo Ball, 1815, hand-made cream lace collar, finely worked with flower baskets and floral garlands, foxed, stitched to a piece of tissue paper, with old manuscript label attached 'Old Brussels Lace accepted as worn at the Ball given for the Waterloo Victory', and accompanied by a later note of provenance pertaining to its more recent history, width of lace 13.5 cm (5.25 ins), overall size of collar 56 x 46 cm (22 x 18 ins)QTY: (1)NOTE:Presumably the Waterloo Ball referred to is the famous gathering hosted by Charlotte, Duchess of Richmond, in Brussels on 15th June 1815, the night before the Battle of Quatre Bras, which itself took place two days before the Battle of Waterloo. The ball was a brilliant affair at which most of the senior officers in Wellington's army were present. The proceedings were interrupted soon after the arrival of the Duke of Wellington himself, when he was notified of Napoleon's unexpected advance. The evening gradually unravelled, the dancing, music and romance giving way to tearful farewells. Some of the officers rushed away without even changing their clothes, going off to fight in knee-breeches and dancing pumps, and a number of them died in the ensuing battles.
* Military Buttons. A large collection of military buttons, approximately 450, late Victorian and early 20th century, including Supply Transport Corps, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, West Lincolnshire Volunteers, Royal Scots Greys, Rifle Brigade, Royal Marines, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, Nova Scotia Highlanders, Indian Staff Corps, Australian Commonwealth, King's African Rifles and many more, presented on 16 card boards for display, not all completeQTY: (approx. 450 )NOTE:Provenance: The Dr Alison Smith Lean Button Collection.
* Clothing. A bodice and deconstructed skirt of silk damask, probably Spitalfields, circa 1745-50, boned and fitted bodice of blue silk damask with large pattern of flowers and leaves, of later construction, stitched by hand and machine, probably intended for fancy dress, with elbow length sleeves trimmed with wide lace flounces, matching lace to neck and front, v-shape to waist front and back, and eyelets with lacing to back, sleeves coming unstitched slightly in a couple of places, bust 64 cm (25 ins), waist 48 cm (19 ins), sleeves 40.5 cm (16 ins), length 45 cm (17.75 ins), matching skirt with ungathered waist and hand-stitched hem, some light discolouration to bodice and skirt in places, width between pink-striped selvedges 56 cm (22 ins), length 98 cm (38.5 ins), entire width of hem (i.e. if side seam was unstitched) 188 cm (74 ins)QTY: (2)NOTE:Provenance: The Haslett family, Shakespear House, Adelaide Park, Belfast, Northern Ireland.Shakespear House was built in 1891 by Joseph Frederick Warden, who commissioned the construction of the Grand Opera House in Belfast in 1895. In 1918 Shakespear House was sold to John Haslett, a surgeon in the Royal Army Medical Corps, passing down three generations of the Haslett family until its sale in 2022, when the contents – an impressive array of antiques and historical pieces - were sold.
